Puffy Eyes: Home Cures That Work
Part one of two.
Do you have puffy eyes because of aging, stress, smoking, drinking or just about anything else? Don’t despair – help is here and it’s free! The four easy home remedies below are free, as well as easy to do and will go a long way in reducing your puffy eyes.
1. Tea – black or green. Teas with caffeine help constrict blood vessels and diminish swelling (caused by aging, smoking, stress, etc), while herbal teas (especially chamomile tea) have wonderfully effective anti-irritants that soothe and reduce puffiness.
Directions: Steep two tea bags of your choice in hot water for four to five minutes. Let them cool down until they feel comfortably warm to touch. Lie down and close your eyes. Now put one tea bag over each eye. Cover them with a soft cloth. In hot weather, place the boiled tea bags in your fridge and apply to eyes when you need a cool, refreshing, de-puffing experience.
2. Spoons. If you’re going out and need a super-quick reduction of puffy eyes, teaspoon-size spoons, believe it or not, work wonders.
Directions: Place 4 to 6 spoons in the fridge. Lie down, close those eyes, and put one tea spoon on each eye. As the spoons warm, replace them with cold ones from the refrigerator (or if more convenient, keep them wrapped in an ice-pack).
3. Cucumber. This is perhaps the best-known remedy, known by supermodels as a sure-fire and super-quick way to reduce puffiness right before a photo-shoot. The cucumber’s contracting qualities cause your blood vessels to constrict, quickly and dramatically reducing puffy eyes.
Directions: Lie down, close your eyes and put a thin slice over each eye. Relax for 5 to 10 minutes while the cucumbers work their wonders.
4. Egg white. Here is a real souffl for your face with incredible age-defying benefits. This one’s also great for reducing crow’s feet.
Directions: Beat one egg white until frothy and stiff. Apply with a soft cloth (or brush) around your inner and outer eye areas, and along your cheekbones. Leave on for 10 mins. Remove by spaying the applied areas with water. Next, use use cold water on a cotton ball or washcloth to remove.
